Young Love

| CHAPTER NINE | Part 2

TAMMY'S POV

It's 3:00pm, I have been waiting for Angelique to head home from school. As I waited I started cleaning the house until my phone started ringing.

-- Caller ID --
Michelle O'Brian (OldFoldHome)
-Decline -Answer

Hello, this is Tammy Foster.

Hello Tammy, if you have the chance could you please go somewhere private if Angelique is around.

Yeah sure, what's going on?

We have some bad news.

Michelle goes silent until I hear her breath out heavily.

Your mother passed away today.

My heart dropped and I cover my mouth trying to hold in my cry. There's a million questions going through my mind on what caused this because my mother was very healthy, but I guess it's life.

H-how? She never told me anything was wrong with her.

I cry a little, tears falling down my face, my chest aches.

There wasn't anything wrong with her ma'am. She died peacefully in her sleep, just old age. I'm very sorry for your lost.

I cry more staring blankly at the wall, I hear the door opening and it's Angelique.

Well I better go now and tell her, I don't know how she'll handle any of this but I'll try my best to keep her stabled.

I sob a little as I hang up the phone.

I explained everything that happened to Angelique and she didn't say anything but run to her room and slamming the door. I decided to not go in there just yet but let her fall asleep crying, it's the best way.

ANGELIQUE'S POV

I can't believe my grandma died, I was closer to her more then anyone besides my mother. Let's just say my grandma was my bestfriend, we went through everything together and did everything today. No one could ever replace her.

My eyes fill with tears as I lay on my bed with my face in my pillow. I'm crying but letting our screams because how hurt I am. Losing someone you're close to, hurts like a bitch.

I ended up crying myself to sleep. I don't know what to do or think, all I know is that my grandma is gone, my bestfriend, the person I always ran to when I desperately needed someone.

Three hours later I wake up to my phone ringing but I was too drained from all the crying to even open my eyes and pick up my phone. I just laid in bed thinking over the words my mother said, then the words hit me. She's really gone, I cry again, my heart shattering. I need someone to talk to about all of this and I don't want to go through it alone.

I open my eyes and groan as I role over to pick up my phone and see I have 3 missed calls from Kian. I unlock my phone and dial in his number to call him back. I don't know why I wanted to talk to him, it's like I feel more comfortable, I feel I can trust him.

Hey Angelique.

Uhm hey Kian.

What's wrong? You sound like you've been crying.

I was, like three hours ago... but fell asleep.

Why? What happened?

I don't feel like talking about it, I just need to talk to you Kian. I need to keep my mind off of things.

Unfortunately no matter what, my mind wouldn't get off of this, my head was spinning and my heart still hurt. Talking to Kian made things a little better but nothing could take the pain away from losing my grandma.

Kian and I spoke for hours on end, until we both fell asleep on the phone. We spoke about our family, life stories and our interest. I feel like I know him a bit more.

He made me feel happy, I laughed and didn't end up crying even though I was still hurting inside. He made things better, just the sound of his voice made me smile and feel warm inside.
